Customer Reviews Hoka Bondi Slip Resistant

The tongues of this sneaker are too stiff that hurt food bones while walking. Otherwise, very stylish and true to it’s size.

I normally take a size 8 in Hoka's but these were too small

I have had knee problems since April. I've been a server or bartender for 23 years and work on my feet. Even though the knee is better, it affected my gait and gave me horrible foot and Achilles tendon pain. I've spent HUNDREDS on top brand shoes trying to find a pair that helped to no avail until I discovered HOKA's. If they had enough arch support the sole wasn't soft enough. Or there wasn't any ankle support. These arrived today after work. I just woke up from a nap with stiff Achilles tendons and sore feet so bad I could barely get myself from the couch to the bathroom, as I worked a late Saturday shift and then a Sunday brunch shift, and the dog needed to go out for a walk. Put these on and I could walk! The support is incredible! They'd get 5 stars if the tongue wasn't so short it's digging into my ankles a bit but Ill just unlace the last eyelet until they're broken in a little. The tongue isn't that stiff and it'll soften up. After all the pain I've been in, these are HEAVEN ON EARTH. Just a little more than I'm used to spending but I don't care. They're worth their weight in gold!

These would be wonderful only if the tracking forward in the shoe didn’t dictate where my foot was placed in the shoe. I ordered wide due to recovery for ankle replacement surgery and to accommodate the swelling that can happen when transferring to regular shoes. On both feet, during a conservative break in process over two weeks, I have blisters up to 6 band aids daily still a week and a half after beginning the break in. I wish I had ordered the regular width Hoka in canvas. The sr. shoe is great, but not flexible enough for a foot that is learning to flex from scar tissue. Too wide even with the swelling. My feet aren’t supported. I feel that I wasted my $200 because I followed the advice of my Doc and not my instinct. Lesson learned. I hope this helps someone not make my mistake.

True to size and a good width. I have high arches so the insole that came with these shoes provided absolutely no support for me, but once I switched to my preferred insoles, these shoes are extremely comfortable. I love the chunky look of the shoe and the very thick sole, as I work on my feet on hard floors all day.

They fit great. But I have shrunk to 5' tall and wear a size 9 womens shoe. The shoe box was HUGE and then the cushioning really stuck out on the sides. They looked like clown shoes. Otherwise felt very good because I am on my feet all day!
